"Hidden Data of Self-Knowledge"

by Vittal Koppal

[COLUMN: Adept's Pillar]

It is a great feeling for me to come across a sensitive human being like you. The limitations of one's self-development are endless. No one knows for sure when our ancestors became conscious regarding developing themselves into fine civilizations, but the process of self-improvement is going on and on ever since.

One becomes speechless when one goes in search of books and stands in front of a endless collections of titles on different subjects in bookstores and libraries You will wonder how anyone could ever become expert enough to call oneself a knowledgeable person with a well developed understanding. The first question you will ask yourself is "Is it possible to read digest and master this ever growing vast explosion of knowledge totally in anyone's lifetime?" No. Indeed it is not possible. Then what to do? Do we stop learning, educating and developing ourselves?

No certainly there is no need to stop our self-development either. Then what to do? Suddenly it becomes necessary for us to find a more effective and fast solution for our self-development. 'Self-development is a flowering of our personality from within, however it is not molding ourselves into something which we are not'. To find this then you will have to go and find the origin of all the knowledge connected to self-development subject. From where do you think that all this endless vast knowledge is continuously coming into our existential world? Why have all of those books have been created? And why are there many books on many subjects being created at this very present moment?

What makes a writer compulsively to write, create and share this 'ever fresh universal self-knowledge'? Are they not also just simple common people like anyone else in the world? Yes indeed they are just like us, but a kind of flowering has occurred within them by which they are able to see the life from many different dimensions. Okay, then first let us go within ourselves and find answers to these questions, 'NOW'.

So now it is evident that words are the communication mediums by which all the universal knowledge is conveyed to 'you'. Now we will find out what these 'words' really are? And who are 'you' and your individual identity, because knowing about our relationship with 'words' and one's true individual identity is the first step towards one's self-development. Lack of self-understanding is the root cause of all miseries, confusions and difficulties in one's life. When we are incapable to understand our individuality properly then we cannot develop our personality and interact effectively with the people around us. One will just end up feeling as if s/he is an inadequate person. You will really know how amazing is the journey of self-discovery as we explore it from all together with an 'out of box' approach. Okay, shall we begin? So we will start from one step at a moment so as to make our journey interesting and exciting as well.

Well, do you remember when you learned the first word of your life? Well, I am asking this strange question simply because before you learned the first word of your life, at the moment when you were just born. At that moment you were not what you think, assume and believe you are now. Before you grew up to be an educated "worldly wise" knowledgeable individual, you were free like butterfly. You were beyond gender. Your eyes were shinning like stars. Without any apparent reason your joy, your bliss and your happiness were limitless. You were the very joy, bliss and happiness because those were your intrinsic nature and essence.

Why? Because at those precious moments you were one with the whole universe. You were peerless light of limitless consciousness itself. You never experienced the Universe around you as something separate and different. You and universe were indivisible. You were one with yourself along with entire contentment of the universe. You never expected anything from anyone because you already had everything that you ever wanted. You were happy to be what you already were because you were not involved in any process of becoming. You were in the eternal "omnipresence" of the "now and here". You did not know what worry is, because there was not any kind of "need" within you.

You were not rushing towards anything, because at those precious moments there was not any kind of sense of time within you. There was not any sense of fear or worry within you. You were not poor or rich. You were not a good person or a bad person, therefore you were free from all duality and all manmade social, religious and political divisions and differences of the world. Do you remember such precious moments of your own earlier life? Of course how could anyone ever remember precious moments? Everyone unconsciously forgets those precious moments as soon as one falls into 'the trap' of becoming something that s/he is not. Do you wish to go back to those beautiful moments of your own life? Who doesn't wish to go back to such one's own intrinsic heightened state of universal consciousness?

Yes the first word you repetitively heard was the "NAME" given to you by your parents. When you heard that first word repetitively again and again, you really did not know why that sound was repetitively uttered at you, and for what it was meant for. However by and by that first word went deeper and deeper into your consciousness and created the first thought in your consciousness called 'I am' "I exist because I am" 'I am because I experience, I feel. Thus that first input of an individualized imprint called 'I am" was created into your limitless inner consciousness. That first 'word' was the 'input' for the formation of your individualized memory in your brain. That in turn was the beginning of your individualized combination of 'body, intellect and consciousness'. Those impressions of sensory inputs in turn started to create divisions within your inner universal consciousness in the form of words and their related images. Many different impressive inputs with corresponding meanings, images, feelings and emotions followed one after another and will continue throughout your lifetime. This was all started when you were a small helpless child, vulnerable like a flower. Ever since, all of these sensory inputs have been making their imprints on your universal consciousness or within your True Self.

A consequence of identifying yourself with that first 'WORD' your name was your first step towards unconsciously going away from your own true intrinsic universal center. Simultaneously unconsciously you lost your true universal center forever and thus you were intellectually separated from the whole universe. Along with it went your eternal inner peace of total universal contentment. Your first word - your "NAME" also gave you a gender, sexuality, religion, locality and country. Then you came to know the second word called "MOM". Then the third word called "DAD", then many endless more words, more names and more images. Then many endless repetitive imprints of language, grammar, pronunciation, science, history, mathematics, and commerce on your universal consciousness were followed. Along with your physical growth you learnt to grow intellectually in the process of becoming 'a perfect fit' in the ever-imperfect world around you. Ultimately now you have become a worldly wise intellectual person, which has become your 'first and last identity' now that is what you believe you are, don't you?

Unconsciously you were trained, molded and fixated into a "personification" as per your family traditions, religion, caste, culture, place of birth, and lastly your country that has transformed you into some worldly social identity so that you become a perfect fit as a functional intelligent human useful to your home, to the social structure into which you were born and lastly to the statuesque. Thus you were separated and split into many parts intellectually from your true eternal one unified universal identity.

However your individualized identity formation based on your individual inputs has been taking shape since the moment when you unconsciously started to identify yourself with that first input imprint of first 'WORD' your name, which was not actually you, but was just an indication to identify the beautiful combination of body and universal consciousness, which actually were the "TRUE YOU". Factually you also do exist beyond your physical body, your name, your mind and beyond the world and hence beyond the matter, space, and time itself. Whatever I am saying to you, does it not seem to be incredible and quite unbelievable?

Yes indeed this is a new unexplored dimension regarding your personality. And this new concept indeed appears quite incredible and unbelievable. However fortunately this is a fact and very much true. Yes, you too are equally equipped with common sense like anyone else on this planet. Yes you too can self-explore and self-analyze this hidden data of self-knowledge or an unexplored truth within your inner dimension on your own capacity. This rare book will certainly guide you to 'find it now' since our attitude about ourselves determines the quality of our lifetime on planet earth. As we learn more about ourselves we come to understand others even better.

The vast universe that you "perceive and know" is through the five windows of your senses, the five input devices of a super combination of body and universal consciousness called a "human" which is ' you'. The impulsive input signals of sound through the ears; of touch through the skin; of smell through the nose; of light, darkness and images through the eyes; of taste through the tongue. Such different combinations of impulsive signals reproduce reflections and imprints of many different bio-electro-chemical-charges in the fluid of your brain, that fluid being a Neurotransmitter. This neurotransmitter in turn induces different mental psychiatric states, like feelings, emotions, moods, misery, joy, happiness, love, hate, anger, senses of satisfaction and dissatisfaction, knowing and not knowing so on and so forth with help of your universal consciousness.

Now, know that your brain is filled with recordings of experiences called a memory, or imprints of words, names and images which are just indications to identify each and everything as if it is separated from you. But in actuality everything in this universe is "YOU" and nothing else but "YOU" and only "YOU". Yes indeed, this feels like a hard nut to chew intellectually. Without light of universal consciousness there is no universe. Both are indivisible.

When there are no proper words to identify something "new" that we come across, then automatically and immediately a "new word" is invented or straight away taken from other languages. It is simultaneously verbalized and imprinted into our universal consciousness as known data of worldly knowledge. Or simply called as our language which is also our collective communication dictionary used by our individual localized minds. Thus our individual mind of 'I-ness' the "Intellect" human's "Operating System" takes its shape and comes into existence, which only has a utilitarian value, which is quite helpful for successfully interacting, surviving, and functioning in the human world called as collective intellect.

However until now the sum total of all the invented, discovered and verbalized data of knowledge is nothing but our own invented-discovered-worldly-knowledge. This amounts only to a tiny fraction of the infinite, unexplored, hidden data of our self-knowledge which we all share equally and universally. It is the infinite cosmic intelligence, the universal consciousness which still exists "Out There" in the form of 'us', the human race. That hidden data is still unexplored. Still waiting for 'your' self-exploration and verbalization, which always remains out of reach of anyone's "individualized intellect" because the human race is continuously, regenerating and expanding endlessly, moment to moment because of their special inborn unique inquisitiveness and the universal consciousness within.

Therefore the universal consciousness is also called the tree of self-knowledge, having its roots within the consciousness of human beings, the inventors, the discoverers and the creators of all verbalized self-knowledge, which is the true "YOU". Therefore our universal consciousness is the true origin of all the worldly knowledge. Hence universal self-knowledge is called mother of all the worldly knowledge. All the fruits of the modern scientific advancements that we all are enjoying equally unconsciously belong to this miraculous tree of supreme self-knowledge within 'you'. So naturally now we can arrive at the final concluding point that the hidden data of infinite knowledge exists universally within all of us. On the other hand it is also true and unfortunate that our own individualized and personified mind is taking us away from our own center of "The Universal-True-Self".

As a matter of fact usually you do not identify yourself with your "True-Self". But tragically now in your day-to-day life you have been habituated to identify yourself with your individualized, self-centered, localized and personified "body and mind" combination, which is not the real you. Whereas actually you are the miraculous combination of 'body, intellect and the light of consciousness'.

On the other hand that has transformed you into just an ordinary being with a 'self-centered, localized, and personified psyche' or a separated individual and nothing else. The more worldly knowledge one discovers, invents, verbalizes and creates naturally the more knowledgeable or the "mindful" "worldly" "materialistic" "Intelligent" person one will become. Because of its tremendous everyday utilitarian value, naturally the data of worldly knowledge is forever expanding. It is continuously verbalized into thoughts and further into forms of printed books and e-books which we can call as "recordings of known data of the worldly knowledge" simultaneously growing as "the global collective mind" within the brains of human beings. Therefore the syllabus materials of universities and educational institutes are helplessly being updated continuously year after year.

Regardless of any subjects that students are learning now within the four walls of their universities will certainly become outdated before they come out after completion of their graduation. Tragically, now the world at large itself is helplessly on an endless path which certainly is taking the "individuals" farther and farther away from their own inner light of intrinsic peerless universal true-self, towards a "bottomless abyss" called "Nowhere".

Therefore now the immediate question in front of humankind is to find an answer to the important question. Why today are the true values of life are losing their significance? The answer is very simple. It is simply because the minds of the individuals of humanity have not yet universalized. The minds of the individuals are unconsciously being molded wrongly and put against one another, by inter-opposing social, religious, and political thoughts and belief systems, which are being passed on from generation to generation without a second thought. It means that we are unconsciously accepting ourselves unquestioningly and unconditionally what we are told we are, which is exactly very far from what we really 'are'.

So what to do? What not to do? Where to go? Where not to go? Where are you? Are you nothing else but a living puppet, doll that is stuffed with the inter-opposing social, religious, and political thoughts and belief systems? Are you just a 'self-centered, localized, and personified psyche? Just an "intelligent living tool" for the identification and to survive in the infinite universe around? Then where are you? Are you within your body? Are you beyond your body? Then where is that beyond ? Is that "beyond" the true "YOU"? How can you find your earlier true original light of intrinsic universal true Self? Where can you find your own earlier universal contentment? The light of universal consciousness, the infinite hidden universal data of self-knowledge almost appears to be somewhere beyond, far, very far and away from you, does it not?

Can you ever find that miraculous inner light of universal contentment in the external human world around you that is the byproduct of the ever imperfect individualized human's minds? Do you strongly believe that the universe is no longer a part of you? Can you find it in someone, whom you think that they too are separate from you? Can you find it by doing or not doing something? Can some worldly wise person help you to find your 'true universal center' on behalf of you and give it back to you, a person who is also unconsciously individualized and molded like you?

That is why it is again and again wisely said that, to find your own true universal center, you have transform yourself just like a small child. You must earn the capabilities to look at the world from the clear and fresh eyes along with a peerless clear conscience of a small child because the universal light of consciousness keeps on regenerating and recreating itself in the ever new forms of the human beings and rest of the alive nature by the help of conception and procreation and thus successfully manifesting its own continuity of eternal existence by the process of the regeneration.

Is it not true that without finding your true identity of your True Self, your life seems to be meaningless? Well how long would it take to find the identity of your true intrinsic universal Self? Whatever I am saying to you, do you think that this is just quite something beyond the reach of one's mind? Then this book is especially designed just for you. Just ride on further on a mysterious beaten track into your own consciousness and see for yourself how the eternal mystery of the life unfolds in front of you and see how again effortlessly you can "step-back" into your true universal intrinsic center. Go to the true universal intrinsic unified future of the omnipresent world of 'now and here'. Go on and find out your true roots. Find out how the mystery of the hidden data of universal self-knowledge unfolds within your inner dimensions. Yes, this vision indeed may be yet one more new concept, but this new concept will take you to your own inner true intrinsic peerless universal Self. Yes towards your own light of universal consciousness. Yes indeed this is an effort to invoke and effectively empower you with the universal self-knowledge.

Who is the Knower? What makes one's mind enlightened and illuminated with endless insights? Does this life have any purpose? Is our life governed by mere chances? What is the cause of the infinite cosmos? Are you nothing else but a 'self-centered, localized, and personified psyche or an intelligent animal, that just procreates and survives? Who is born? Who is breathing within your body? Who is really alive? What is death? Who really dies? Is the so-called death is just a myth? Who really are the living individuals? This book guides you to find answers to such crucial unanswered questions of your own life.
